Lucky me, I managed 6 hrs of sleep, while my not so sleepy travel buddy Tim got 1 hour of sleep!
The time difference (15 hours behind Perth time) hasn't really been an issue which has been great! We usually feel a little bit tired in the afternoon (around the 2am Perth time mark) but none the less loving it!So day one - we were straight in! My lovely cousin Greg (an LA guru) picked us up from the airport and drove us to this giant doughnut place where Tim had a ball showing off his Australian accent to all of the oggling American's - dropping a few more "G'days" and "mate's" than usual! I never knew he was such an okka! HAHA!
The first day we managed to see all of LA including the famous Hollywood sign, the Observatory, the Sunset strip, Sunset Boulevard, Beverley Hills, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood, West Hollywood and of course the Santa Monica Pier which is amazing! This place is just buzzing and so alive! Tim and I managed to ask about a million tourist questions, and Greg was so patient in asswering EVERY single one! 
Tim had a bit of a rude awakening with the portion sizes of American food. Our first resturant experience was just next door to the Kodak Theatre (Where the Oscar awards are held!!) Tim ordered a main size "baby back ribs" instead of an entree size.. little did he realise, baby back ribs were more like mama back ribs!!! Let's just say he didn't have dinner that night!Photo's to come soon!
